What are yins opinions on the Novi 1k? I just have a holley system max 2 intake and looking to have some fun with the car more than race it so i decided to do a S/C before heads and cam.. So i have about 1400 to spend and found a novi i could get for 1k so what you guys think? How many lbs should i be running? and this is 8lbs max?

They are good s/c units, I had a fox for a while with a Novi 2k, Ran with about 16# That was on a forged 306 though. For a stock block 8# would be fine if it was somewhat of a fresh block, but no higher. 6# would be a somewhat safe number but it could be a time bomb. I really think that the stock heads will be very restrictive.
I know you might not want to hear it but Im sure alot of guys will agree with me...
Forget the charger Buy new heads and get a new cam and you might be able to get some new gears for the rear end.
That will wake up your car more then you think.
All the stock stuff will really prevent you from feeling the s/c
Then save up for a even better s/c then the Novi 1k
Dont put the horse before the cart on this one, It is always better to build a foundation and work up. A solid engine will save you time, money, and stress in the long run.
list what is on the car then a plan can be worked out

Paxton doesn't offer a Novi 1000 kit for 94-95 cars...only Novi 2000. Novi 1000's are for foxes only.

I have the Fox TB style setup on my car now and the 94/95 would not work due to the length on the tube that would be for the tb...

I already have 3.73s, full suspension, i was running spray but took it off to do this, I have ALL msd igntion, probably the only stock thing on my car is the shortblock. But right now i just want something fun to drive since i am still in school and only working part-time adn i drive this as a DD most of the time except when its snowing out.

I wouldn't be worried about the tube from the S/C to the throttlebody as much as the bracketry that holds the S/C and the alignment of the serpentine belt. The Fox and SN95 belt setup is not the same.

Like mentioned it's not the TB tube route it's the brackets. Ours sit further out then foxes, the pulleys and belt won't line up.
